The Tofino Community Food Initiative is trying to see if there is enough support to bring the workshop Growing For Market here. It is taught by Ellen Rainwalker and is described as such:
This workshop is about making an income from backyards and small acreages by selling produce and other farm products to people in your community. Ellen Rainwalker is a former market gardener who has been growing food organically for over 40 years. She has a certificate in Ecological Agriculture.
Some of the topics covered will be: identifying high-value crops, labour-saving tools and equipment, soil improvement, succession planting for year-round harvests, growing in hoophouses, adding value to your products, direct marketing for best prices, developing customer loyalty, and much much more.
It is a four hours long and the workshop held in Qualicum in March was $45.
